Pet care experience

I have spent my life growing up on a farm, taking care of animals of all kinds. I am experienced in loving and caring for dogs and cats of all ages and backgrounds. I am a skillful dog trainer and can assist in basic training as well as specific performance work. I am also well versed in pet safety and administering medication as I live with a licensed veterinarian.

Joan was so nice to squeeze me into her schedule. She stopped by to let my girls out. She is my daughter’s dog sitter and I met her at Christmas She is super nice and very responsible. I can highly recommend her!

Joan was lovely and took really great care of our dogs during a week-long stay! One of our dogs requires a lot of medication as well as a daily inhaler, and Joan handled her medication perfectly. She kept in contact with us and sent lots of pictures. I definitely recommend Joan if you're looking for a pet sitter!

Joan did a wonderful job taking care of our two cavapoos. She kept us updated and sent us wonderful pictures throughout the weekend. She left our house immaculate. She kept our pups happy and well stimulated, taking them out on lots of walks and playing ball with them. We would definitely use Joan again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
